crazy weather

Jul 19, 2006 12:25

it took me almost an hour to get home from work last night. (it usually takes me 10 minutes.) everything was crazy as soon as it started to pour. before i left work, there was water pouring in the back door from the parking lot (where my car was parked of course) so that by the time i left, there was water covering almost the entire dining room and kitchen. walking out to the parking lot, i was ankle deep in puddles so my shoes were soaked. i think i hit a power line or something coming out of the parking lot. i tried about 6 different routes to get home and each time, there was either a big tree branch blocking the road, power lines down that i didn't want to drive over (even though one lady claimed that my bumper would protect me, i didn't want to risk it), or police cars blockading the road. i drove through some nice size puddles and was worried my car was going to malfunction. finally, i ended up going to rte 3 to take the parkway home. that worked until i got near my exit and traffic was stopped since a tree was down at the exit so i had to go to the next exit and work my way back.

that was the worst drive i have ever had and i never want to have to do that again. i was really glad to get home finally. at least now it's not quite so hot out.
